Giving Thanks With A Purpose

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:36:05 +0000

I know Thanksgiving Day is a US-centric holiday and I even had to do a Google search to find out which day it actually falls on. Sounds kinda ignorant of me, like “which day should I start giving thanks huh?”

I suppose Thanksgiving should not be a day, but an everyday attitude of gratitude. The self-development coaches and trainers may say we give thanks for every little thing that sustains our lives (and dreams and hopes), but most did not explicitly say to give thanks for what purpose. “They tell me to give thanks to God. I give thanks. Now what?” I actually once found myself questioning this.

Well, here is my personal answer/opinion: We give thanks so as not to take further risk.

Whatever things that come blessed unto us, they are results arising from our actions and productivity. We can give thanks by remaining consistent and congruent with how we do routines while finding ways to IMPROVE upon them (like stepping stones), not always finding NEW ways to do things as if starting from scratch. A person can only have so many starting points in life, so say a speaker. If we missed that one crucial starting or turning point, you’re going to wait quite a while for another milestone. By then we have grown older and may be perceived as a “late bloomer”. But by remaining consistent, you’re solidifying your position to usher the next foreseeable milestone closer to your destiny.

Blessings almost always come by God THROUGH the people around us, who give us chances and opportunities for expansion. So they are the ones who can see whether we are consistent or not.

So next time, if you don’t know who or what to give thanks to, at least give thanks to yourself as a reminder not to take any more unnecessary risk, and remain focused on building up that very first foundation you so aspired to. Do you still remember what it was?

Obama Thanks Satan – Strange, but True!

his mantra backwards and you will hear, “Thank you satan”. I don’t think it’s a mistake that God would have these words say “thank you satan” when said backward. These words are boastful, proud and arrogant. We can do NOTHING without the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the devil who boasted that he would be so high that he would be above the Lord God Himself. There are ignorant so-called “Christians” and even preachers and Pastors boasting Obama’s wicked mantra. They need to stop. They are …

“I Give You Thanks” (Grateful Praise)

Praise God from who all blessings flow. Oh how we need an “attitude of Gratitude” to our merciiful Lord. God is faithful and cares for us and it is our duty to thank Him from our hearts daily. God has given us more blessings than we can count or deserve and we owe Him our appreciation, love and gratitude. Yet, many of us complain and murmur, and this is a grevious sin. We fail to thank Him because we are self-centered and focus is on ourselves instead of His goodness. This original song …
